As you may have heard, our good friend Ashton “I just Twipunk’d my cougar by sending a pic of her ass to the world” Kutcher may be abandoning Twitter. While he may be threatening this I see it as a sad attempt to rekindle his quasi-fame from That 70’s Show, even more disturbing was the thought that there may be a Twitter TV Show. Don’t get me wrong, I love TV and Twitter, but mixing them is like mixing pickles and peanut butter – the last time there was an idea this bad, the Skipper convinced Gilligan that it would be a three-hour tour.

The concept of Twitter itself baffles and turns off many people – seriously who wants to read the mindless drivel of Joe the Plumber, Suzie the hairdresser or the creepy guy in apartment 22? Let alone celebrities not named Shaq. It is with this that I see a big flop in the future of the premise:

THR – Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment Partners on Monday announced they have partnered with the social-networking and micro-blogging service to develop the first TV series that incorporates Twitter into the action of the show.

Created by novelist Amy Ephron, sister of Nora and Delia Ephron, the show will feature ordinary people competing while on the trail of celebrities.

The untitled series will be executive produced by Reveille managing directors Mark Koops and Howard T. Owens, Brillstein CEO Jon Liebman and Lee Kernis, Ephron, Kevin J. Foxe and Steven Latham.

ShineReveille International will distribute both the format and the finished series internationally.

Even if Businessweek’s Stephen Baker is right and a movie about a product has already succeeded – think the Departed – his opening of his piece rings the most true: OK, chances are that the Twitter-inspired TV show will be a flop. Most shows are.

I wish the cast and crew luck, but will not let it turn my brain to mush. I will leave that to Hulu…
